Landscape As Mirror, Self As Myth


Developed across more than a decade, this body of work traces an evolving relationship between landscape, symbolic selfhood, performance and transformation. Moving through recurring figures, site-responsive encounter, installation, moving image and embodied research, the works unfold as chapters within a longer psychological and visual journey. Rather than illustrating a fixed narrative, landscape becomes a mirror through which states of rupture, transformation, integration and renewal are encountered.  Across the wider body of work, landscape operates as a form of psychological architecture. Forests, open terrain, water, fire and altered environments become spaces through which memory, identity, rupture, adaptation and renewal are physically encountered rather than simply represented.
